Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
Ready to Rock-n-Roll............
Was able to do some things lastnight before bed, 11pm, was at it at 4am this morning, all done, tank full and just waiting for the weekend. Thought I'd re-photograph and show some of Larry's work. The Chicago Motor Club emblem has been straightened since this photo.

Re: Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
Gentlemen.....Sarah was real nasty underneath, over 40 years since last rebuilt and all the grease and grim proved it. The list is too long of all that Larry did this past winter and the winter before to post. I feel a whole lot more safer on the roads now than when I first adopted her.
Cheers............... Ed

Re: Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
A related story.......one of my grandfathers died in 63. I remember visiting him in St Louis as I was growing up. He smelled funny, to me as a kid, all musty and old, a different kind of musty though. I had forgot all about that until this morning when I opened up the ratten suitcase (1920/1930s) to bolt it to the carrier and that same smell hit me, so much I got goose bumps and had to look behind me. That smell wasn't there before.......

Re: Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
If anyone remembers earlier photos that showed the firewall, it was full of holes...not no more.

Re: Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
An Autolite heater cover will go on that manifold. Careful, they will roast you. Great looking car you got there. I am sure Sarah feels a whole lot better now.

Stunning. I'm going to cover up my car to ease the pain of looking at it. Have a great weekend....

Re: Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
Thanks for the comments...got one problem...she dead as a doornail. Got nothing electrical. Have been charging the battery for an hour now and there is still not enough juice to even run the turn signals. Changed out the fuse even though the other fuse was good.

Re: Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
Where did you get that tubing to go from the heater to the port in the firewall? I've never found material that I was happy with, and that looks pretty good.

Re: Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
Send me your address by PM and I'll send you a bit....I had to buy far more than I needed and I have a bit left.

Re: Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
I spot a reproduction cutout, I had one and it always stuck. I'd start there in looking for your current draw if it hasn't already been gutted for a diode. I use a diode cutout now.
I get the inflation... I'm pretty sure I paid more for a single tire than my granddad did for the whole car! (although he purchased it in the early 60's and it was a basket case then)

Re: Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
I remember when doctors made house calls, Larry's a good man! That sucks that you'll have to wait one more day to get her out on the road. Lots of good people in the model a club!

Re: Rebuilt Returned Re-Waxed Re-Attached and
I wasn't really going anyplace tomorrow anyway, it's Sunday and Monday that I'll be offski, so the whole weekend won't be a waste.
